Critical and Systems Thinking Program Description.

Leadership Excellence-Critical and Systems Thinking

Detailed Description

Critical and Systems Thinking examines several key elements in leadership development related to how leaders view their world and ultimately, how success they are at seeing the big picture. First, this program provides the skills needed to critically examine any project, proposal or operational function. This involves asking probing questions, inquiring about the "why" and connecting activities back to the core mission of a business. Another important part of this unit is to use critical thinking effectively but to avoid becoming the critic.

This program continues with expanding thinking and analysis into a more global and systems approach that is focused on finding unintended consequences of decisions and actions. Using a mapping approach, Critical and Systems Thinking will assist learners in understanding the connectivity and consequences of all changes and workplace decisions. The program will also insure certain levels or altitudes of thought based on leadership level and influence.

For managers and executives, Critical and Systems Thinking represents a very important set of success factors.
